angela, i want to start with you. we have the timeline here and if we look at it, the president was scheduled to go to las vegas on january 29th and give his first policy speech of the second administration but we see that on the 28th the bipartisan group of senators, they came out with their plan trying to trump the president to seem ahead of him. is this a way in the chess match with the leaked reform bill getting out there a way for the president to get the ball back. >> i think if we stay a step back and think about what was in the leaked draft proposal, it is not that being showing. anyone listening to the state of the union address or anything else this administration has said about immigration, it is not a rouge surprise. we should be real about where we are and when you look at the senators bart of the bipartisan coalition, you think that mark on you rubio part of that would have been more delicate with his words. this isn't about a plan that should be dead on arrival. it is a draft bill. i said this yesterday

angela rounds, what do you make of that? >> a whole lot. first and foremost the fact that it's in draft form and it's a proposal to say that it's dead on arrival. at what point do you pay attention to the fact that there's an amendment process, if there's something you don't like, on the house side and senate side you can amend the bill so instead of being immediately opposed to whatever the president puts forward, he needs to be open to amending the bill. >> chris, we know that leaks in d.c. don't happen by accident. what's the motivation here. >> sure, a lot of posturing going on on both sides here. you know, you take the substance for one. it's a draft. there will be a lot of back and forth. this isn't an easy path to citizenship. there's enforcements and ideas about requirements, criminal records, fees, learning english, et cetera. >> back taxes. >> exactly. nothing happens by accident and you've got to wonder if senator rubio has stepped in it to an extent here. the white house leaks this, rubio jumps up and down. it's fascinating. the
